Social Designer

The Role

As a Social Designer, you’ll bring visual craft and platform fluency to the always-on social content needs of your dedicated account(s). You’ll become the visual voice for their social channels, from daily content and campaign tie-ins to paid social creative — while partnering closely with the account and creative team to keep every post on-brand, on-trend, and built to perform.

What You’ll Do

Creative Development

Create visual design and short-form motion/video content for social, always-on posts, campaign content, Stories, Reels, and other native formats for your dedicated account(s)

Translate creative briefs, brand guidelines, and social strategy into concepts and executions that are original, on-brand, and built to perform across platforms

Partner with writers, strategists, and account teams to build content grounded in real audience needs and platform trends

Design paid social ad creative, adapting a single concept across platform specs and formats to meet campaign goals

Client and Team Collaboration

Present creative work internally and to clients with confidence, articulating the thinking behind the design and the platform rationale

Collaborate with the other members of the creative team, motion designers, and partners to carry design intent through to final execution

Give and receive feedback openly, contributing to a culture of craft and constructive critique

Support and mentor junior designers when opportunities arise

Platform Expertise and Adaptability

Maintain deep working knowledge of Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook, including their formats, specs, trends, and best practices

Monitor platform and cultural trends, bringing timely, relevant ideas back to the account team

Stay current on design trends, tools, and emerging technology, including AI, and bring what you learn back to the team

What You Bring

Required Qualifications

3+ years of agency, in-house social team, or design studio experience with a focus on social media design

Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and other core design and video-editing tools

A portfolio that shows strong platform-native design and short-form video/motion work across Instagram, TikTok, and at least one additional platform

Proven ability to design, shoot, and/or edit UGC-style content including native, in-feed video and photo that reads as authentic and organic rather than polished or produced

Experience designing paid social ad creative, including adapting a single concept across multiple formats and specs

Strong conceptual thinking paired with the visual and technical skill to execute it well on tight, always-on timelines

Comfort presenting and defending creative decisions to internal teams and clients

Demonstrated curiosity about and application of generative AI tools, and an understanding of how they can enhance (not replace) the creative process

Additional or Bonus Experience

Experience with social scheduling/publishing and analytics tools (e.g., Sprout Social, Later, native platform insights)

Experience in motion design, animation, or UGC-style content creation

Experience in UX/web design or spatial/environmental design
